FLORISTIC, EDAPHIC AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF FLOODED AND UNFLOODED FORESTS IN THE LOWER RIO PURúS REGION OF CENTRAL AMAZONIA, BRAZIL

Floristic, edaphic and structural characteristics of flooded and unflooded forests in the lower Rio Purús region of central Amazonia, Brazil

Despite a natural history interest in the early 1900s, relatively little ecological research has been carried out in the Rio Purús basin of central Amazonia, Brazil.Here we describe a new study area in the region of Lago Uauaçú with an emphasis on the climate, forest structure and composition, and soil characteristics between adjacent unflooded

Global quantum correlations in finite-size spin chains

We perform an extensive study of the properties of global quantum correlations in finite-size one-dimensional quantum spin models at finite temperature.By adopting a recently proposed measure for global quantum correlations (Rulli and Sarandy Reclaimers 2011 Phys.Rev.A 84 042109), called global discord , we show that critical points can be neatly d

Metagenomics Insights into the Role of Microbial Communities in Mycotoxin Accumulation During Maize Ripening and Storage

Mycotoxins are among the primary factors compromising food quality and safety.To investigate mycotoxin contamination, microbial diversity, and functional profiles in maize across distinct geographic regions, this study analyzed samples from Xuanwei, Fuyuan, and Zhanyi.Mycotoxin concentrations were quantified through standardized assays, while micro
